The 10th FOKUS Media Web Symposium (MWS) was held on June 13-14, 2023. Since 2010, Fraunhofer FOKUS, together with its event partners and sponsors, has organized this annual international conference, bringing together 200+ participants from 21 countries to discuss Internet-based media delivery. Over the course of two days, the MWS covered technical aspects, including workshops, tutorials, and exhibitions on the first day, as well as trends and business-related aspects during the conference on the second day.

Continuing our tradition of providing a platform for international technology experts, 62 speakers presented and discussed the latest developments in web technologies and emerging trends in the creative industry. Throughout the sessions, participants engaged in discussions about the future of broadcast and over-the-top delivery, as well as the most sustainable technologies and business models. These discussions took place during coffee breaks in the exhibition area and at the Media Web Night.
